Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Massaging pressure points can actually further damage the area and should not be done for someone with an arterial ulcer. The best choices would be A) stopping smoking, as smoking can further narrow blood vessels and reduce blood flow, and C) applying a heel elevator to the affected foot, as this can help alleviate pressure and promote healing. D) Having a bed cradle on the bed may also be helpful in reducing pressure on the affected area.
